Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh got married on 22 January 1980 at RK House in Chamber. During her appearance on Swiggy’s YouTube channel, Neetu revealed that her wedding was crowded.

“I fainted because there were so many people, and my husband was nervous about the crowd, so he fainted before he got on the horse. So he was drinking brandy. I was drinking brandy. That’s how we got married, I was drunk when I was taking the pare,” she said.

The actor also recalled that pickpockets managed to infiltrate their wedding celebrations. He revealed that some of them had also gifted the couple stones and slippers.

“There were pickpockets at my wedding. They gave me gifts which included stones, slippers. They were all dressed very well and we thought they were guests. They crashed the wedding because it was such a big wedding,” Neetu recalled.
